The problem is that Reddit relies on highly motivated and tech literate volunteers to keep subreddits from degenerating almost immediately into pure horseshit. Without some critical mass of capable moderators, I think the whole thing could implode, and these are exactly the people who are most angry. Will the average wall scroller keep posting pictures of their plants or knitting? Probably for a while. But will they keep doing it when their favorite subs are full of shitty memes if not porn? I guess we'll see.
